If you were talking about me, no. I identify as African American.

All I know is, it's a long time. I went complete 2/20 (submitted in mid December) and have not yet gone under review.

On your status checker there should be a link that reads 'Online RSVP Website'

Click on that and it'll redirect you to another site with the top reading 'Travel Subsidy Form'

Depends on how far you live. If you live on the opposite coast, around $300. If you live in the south/middle of the country, $175. (I'm merely basing this on my and other posters subsidies)

OK...this is going to sound like I'm really behind so I apologize in advance, but for Cornell were we supposed to apply for $$ or do they just give it out?

All the info you need is here:
http://www.lawschool.cornell.edu/admiss ... or_aid.cfm

Summary:

1. Fill out FAFSA
2. Fill out NeedAccess
3. Complete Cornell Law School Financial Aid Sheet
4. Submit 2010 parent tax returns
5. Submit your 2010 tax returns

The deadline I believe is March 15 and I think that's all you need...I could be terribly mistaken though.

Even if all you want is Merit Aid, you're still required to fill all of this out I think.
